As we've seen over and over again with the fashion choices of political figures like Michelle Obama and Hillary Clinton, colors are often intentional, taking on a deeper significance than usual. Melania Trump is no stranger to this phenomenon, choosing outfits that make a political statement and wearing designers that align with her political views. On a trip to Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach Florida, Melania was seen wearing a red full-sleeve dress and matching flats. Unlike the blue outfit she wore to meet with Michelle Obama — which was seen as an olive branch across party lines — Melania's red dress can symbolize a strict and one-sided devotion to the Republican agenda. While it is certainly interesting, the color isn't the only noticeable element of the look. As Refinery29 reports, the dress was designed by Givenchy, a brand who recently lost their head designer. Since the house has yet to release a formal statement on whether they'd dress Melania, it's safe to assume that the First Lady could've purchased this look on her own. It is currently available on Net-a-Porter).

Historically, it's been considered a great honor to dress the First Lady. As we've seen with Melania, however, dressing for the First Lady is now a cause for controversy, rather than celebration. When she wore Ralph Lauren at the White House, the brand faced backlash and people even threatened to boycott. In the same way, Dolce & Gabbana started a social media firestorm when they celebrated Melania wearing their design. It will be fascinating to see how Givenchy responds to the publicity. At this point, the First Lady and the Fashion House have yet to comment on her look.
